Good luck getting into the Air Force. Try Army or Marines

The way Obama cutting down on military funding. I doubt you will get in either because recruiting isn't hurting right now.

What if it's just a test/maintenance pilot?

Not sure what you mean by maintenance pilot. The categories for USAF pilots are Mobility (C-17, C-5, C-130 etcs), fighters, and bombers. As far as becoming a test pilot, that is a even more selective process. They only take the cream of the corp (USAF pilots) and the prereqs are you need B.S. in Engineering, Math, or Physics (GPA > 2.5) and 10 years flying experience in the AF. [/quote]

enlisted aviator? wait did you get warranted? I thought the AF doesnt do warrants. I've never heard of this.
I are Interested. smiley: nerd


At the moment there aren't any enlisted aviator job in the USAF. Point blank you need a B.S. to fly any aircraft in the AF unless you want to fly UAVs.

With that said there are a bunch of enlisted flying jobs. Loadmaster, Flight Engineer, Boom Operator, aerial gunner, etc.

put it like this no matter what job u pick in the army u can be converted to a 11B (infantry) type situation....

and yes u have more chance of getting hurt being a 11b than having a finance job in the office somewhere.

all soldiers are 11b first though.... remember that if you trying to enlist.  picking that desk job still can get ur self in combat.....

My fellow Marines will get this joke:

Scene: Tun Tavern, Philadelphia. Date: 1776. Time: evening.

 

 

 

Lt. O'Bannon was sitting at a candle-lit table with a feather pen and an open ledger

 

before him.

 

He was recruiting the world's first U S Marine Detachment.

 

The first potential recruit, whose name has been lost in antiquity, walked up and said,

 

"What's the deal?"

 

O'Bannon said,

 

"Just sign this book, and I'll give you $5, which is your first months pay, a bottle of

 

whiskey and you're in. Of course you have to have your own musket.

 

The recruit thought for just a second and said,

 

"OK. I have a musket", signed, became the USA's very first Marine recruit, took

 

his $5 and bottle into the back room to wait.

 

Second potential recruit walked up and asked,

 

"What's the deal?"

 

O'Bannon said,

 

"Just sign this book, and I'll give you $5, which is your first months pay, a bottle of

 

whiskey and you're in. Of course you have to have your own musket."

 

Looking sad, the second recruit said,

 

"I'd really like to be a Marine, Sir, but I don't own a musket."

 

To which O'Bannon replied:

 

"Don't worry about it, son, we'll find you one."

 

(. . ...which meant he was going to steal one from the Army.)

 

So he signed, became the the USA's second Marine, and walked to the back room

 

with his $5 and bottle of whiskey.

 

The first Marine looked the second Marine over and, by and by, asked,

 

"So what was your deal?"

 

The second Marine said "Well, I got $5, a bottle of whiskey and a musket."

 

The first Marine thought on it for a while and finally said:

 

"Yeah. I figured, but you know, back in the Old Corps,

 

you had to bring our own musket."
